Horoscope

Quotation The "professional horoscope is the one that accurately and clearly describes the rules for our individual game with fate, gives an idea of the strengths that we have, and indicates what we should learn. It describes what we should develop and what we should avoid to become masters of our turn„ ~ Wojciech Eichelberger

Signs of the Zodiac It is a circle of twelve 30° divisions of celestial longitude that are centered upon the ecliptic: the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year. The paths of the Moon and visible planets also remain close to the ecliptic, within the belt of the zodiac, which extends 8-9° north or south of the ecliptic, as measured in celestial latitude. Full angle (360 °) is divided into 12 equal parts, hence in astronomy there are 12 signs of the zodiac.
